Abstract
Quantitative analyses of proximate and phytochemical contents of Allium cepaL., Aloe sinkatana Reynolds, Asparagus densiflorus  (Kunth) Jessop,  Pancratium tortuosum Herbert. , Kniphofia nubigena Mildr., and Urginea maritima (L.) Baker were carried out thus determining the moisture content, carbohydrates, proteins, lipid content, crude fibres, ash content, total pectic substances, tannins and anthocyanins.  Data were subjected to statistical cluster analysis. The dendrogram which resulted from this analysis showed that the six species are grouped into four clusters:  Allium cepa, Urginea maritima and Pancratium tortuosum are the most similar and joined to form the first cluster, followed by Aloe sinkatana, Kniphofia nubigena and Asparagus densiflorus which are sequentially added to the first cluster according to their similarity level indicated by the distance of the clusters. Compared to the recent classification systems, this dendrogram agrees only with the classification at the order level.
